Painted over an ambient occlusion render of a 3D model I created, as per the project guidelines.

The only thing I modeled was the body of the crab since I'm new to Maya. I think I saved a lot of time really. I'll post the in-progress images as well.

The idea here is that this is a giant, domesticated crab used for carrying goods/luggage in tropical/wetland locations. People add rivets and other things into the crab's carapace for utility's sake (such as rings for securing ropes and ladders to climb onto its back). Although on dry land you'd have to climb it to access it's dorsal ridge, the crab mule can move quickly underwater and is tall enough to ford most rivers and shallows.

Thank you! The more I think about it the more I feel like it needs a redesign to actually make sense. So many unanswered questions!

i dig it the way it is! i can imagine when it walks it sways a bit because it's so top heavy, it looks really neat in my mind.
